Wildland training 🔥
As the weather warms, the potential for brush fires and specialized tactics to contain and extinguish them increases. Crews have been busy practicing skills, strategies and tactics in preparation for an upcoming dry season.
This is a great time of year to trim back any overgrown brush, dispose of dry brush, and limit unnecessary burning. There a currently no burn bans in effect. Information on any burn bans or need for a burn permit can be found on our website. Link in bio
